On monday night I was working on a 5 page paper that was due the next morning. This was the first time that I did not save a copy online or to a flash drive. My graphics card completely shorted out and I could not recover the document. I had stayed up the previous night to finish 3 projects that were due and study for a test that was monday night. I ended up writing a completely new paper by hand then having to type it up later in the morning.
oh and I lost my entire progress on a semester long social media project where I had to do a lot of video editing and my flashdrive got corrupted before I could resave everything.
Whats the lesson about this? ALWAYS back up your work in more than one form.
